Answer:

  9, the sum of the numbers given in the ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

The reduced ratio 2 : 7 means that two parts correspond to one length and 7 parts correspond to the other length. That is, there are a total of 2+7 = 9 parts in the full length of the segment.

It is convenient to think of the line segment as being divided into 9 equal parts.

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

It is often helpful to consider the total number of "ratio units" in a given ratio. For example, in this problem, the shorter segment is 2/9 of the whole, and the longer one is 7/9 of the whole.

It can also be useful to consider what a "ratio unit" represents. If the whole segment is 27 inches long, then each of the 9 ratio units will represent 3 inches, for example. This means the division 2:7 is 2(3 in):7(3 in) = 6 in : 21 in.

Find the equation of the straigt line
natka813 [3]

Given :

A graph with a straight line on it.

To Find :

The equation of the line.

Solution :

From the given graph we can see that the line passes through point ( 0,6 ) and ( 4,10 ) .

Also, equation of line passes through two points (x_1,y_1) and ( x_2,y_2) is :

y - y_1 = (\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1})( x - x_1)

Putting all given values, we get :

y - 6 = (\dfrac{10-6}{4-0})( x -0)\\\\y - 6 = x\\\\y -x = 6

Therefore, the equation of line is y - x = 6 .
